10. 12. 17. 1. Head, mounted, and body-skin. Lorian 

 Swamp, British East Africa. This specimen belongs to a 

 pale phase not uncommon in tlie Lorian Swamp and adjacent 

 parts of the Guaso-nyiro. These pale-coloured Lorian water- 

 buck, as mentioned by Col. W. H. Broun {Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 1905, p. 297), and also by Lord Gifford in TJie Field of 

 August 6th, 1910, have eyes of the normal colour, and 

 thus are not true albinos. Col. Broun's buck, which was 

 in company with a white doe when shot, was obtained 

 in July, 1904, on the right or north bank of the Guaso- 

 nyiro, about twenty miles to the westward of the Lorian 

 Swamp. Lord Gifford obtained two white bucks on the 

 north bank of that river, where he saw four other examples, 

 as well as a calf on the south bank. He describes having 

 seen a white male and female in company, but other- 

 wise the white individuals were mingled with normally 

 coloured animals. One white calf is recorded as having been 

 seen with a dark dam, but it appeared to have grey patches 

 on the head and back. These accounts indicate that pale- 

 coloured waterbuck are comparatively common in the Lorian 

 district, although they do not herd by themselves. These 

 pale forms are referable to canescens, but they suggest a case 

 somewhat analogous to that of the grey reedbucks {Rcdnnca 

 armidinum) of the Songwi Elver, near its entrance into Lake 

 ISTyasa (see p. 209). Presented hy Lord Gifford, 1910.
